So this is the first game that I'm really trying to take seriously. I made a custom start with a moderately nice system with 3-5 planets that could be terraformed. I waited for Ion before even starting to explore. There are my naval ships 25 years in (I'm about to seriously upgrade engines to MPD with much higher efficiency tech to boot).
Any comments, concerns or thoughts?

I currently have one CarrierRon and 3 DesRon, and have yet to run into any NPR or Spoilers. No plans to expand my navy without running into something, excepting maybe a couple of yet-to-be-designed fast frigate problems
